JESS: Doing a little shopping?

RORY: Yes. Excuse me.

JESS: Why the cold shoulder?

RORY: No cold shoulder. I just have perishables here.

JESS: Oh yeah, you wanna get home before that beefaroni goes bad.

RORY: My moms waiting for me.

JESS: How was Washington?

RORY: Fine.

JESS: Do anything interesting?

RORY: Nope.

JESS: Okay.

RORY: What about you?

JESS: What about me?

RORY: Anything interesting happen? This summer, I mean.

JESS: Nope.

RORY: Really?

JESS: Really.

RORY: So nothing happened this summer, at all?

JESS: It was hot. Two weeks ago there was a run on snowcones. Machine broke, people went crazy, Taylor tried to call in the National Guard, but

RORY: Im not talking about snowcones.

JESS: What are you talking about then?

RORY: Nothing.

JESS: Her names Shane.

RORY: As in come back?

JESS: Yup.

RORY: Well, great. Thats great. Really, its great.

JESS: So Ive heard.

RORY: Well, it is.

JESS: Are you upset about something?

RORY: No.

JESS: I mean, me and Shane

RORY: What about you and Shane?

JESS: I dont know, it didnt exactly bring a smile to your face.

RORY: Well, Im still freaked out about the, uh, snowcone machine.

JESS: Okay.

RORY: I could care less about you and Shane.

JESS: Good.

RORY: It just surprised me, thats all.

JESS: Why?

RORY: Because.

JESS: Because why?

RORY: Because of what happened at Sookies wedding.

JESS: Ah.

RORY: Yeah, so me coming back here and just seeing you with Shane just kind of threw me for a sec.

JESS: I'm sorry, did I hear from you at all this summer? Did I just happen to miss the thousands of phone calls you made to me, or did the postman happen to lose all those letters you wrote to me? You kiss me, you tell me not to say anything. . .very flattering, by the way. You go off to Washington. . . then nothing. Then you come back here all put out because I didn't just sit around and wait for you like Dean would've done? And yeah, what about Dean? Are you still with him? 'Cause last time I checked, you were, and I haven't heard anything to the contrary. Plus, the two of you walking around the other day like some damn Andy Hardy movie. Seemed to me like youre still pretty together. I half expected you to break into a barn and put on a show.

RORY: When did you see me with Dean?

JESS: At that stupid summer insanity plea the town put on.

RORY: Oh, Im surprised you could see anything with Shanes head plastered to your face.

JESS: You didnt answer me.

RORY: About what?

JESS: Did you call me at all?

RORY: No.

JESS: Did you send me a letter?

RORY: No.

JESS: Postcard?

RORY: No.

JESS: Smoke signal?

RORY: Stop.

JESS: A nice fruit basket?

RORY: Enough!

JESS: Are you still with Dean? Come on, Rory, yes or no are you still with Dean?

RORY: Yes, Im still with Dean, yes!

JESS: Glad to hear it.

RORY: Glad to tell you.

JESS: See you around.

RORY: Whatever.

JESS: Right back at ya.
